I think the main concern for the exam is what applications will use MPLS. For R&S it seems to be only MPLS VPN, and perhaps some basic MPLS functionality (LDP configuration, maybe some forwarding table troubleshooting, etc). There is a huge chapter on MPLS VPN in MPLS Fundamentals. I would focus on VPNv4 route exchange, PE-CE routing as well as the basics of MPLS forwarding and LDP peering.
